You shouldn’t have any sequence that starts at one and ends at another. And my guess is crew scheduling doesn’t care where you live...if you’re on reserve you have 3 hours to get to either. From my experience, it’s not too often you get a call saying “be there in exactly 3 hours.” Usually it’s a call at 4 am saying you have a noon show lol

They don’t care where you live as long as you get there.

“If you’re on reserve it is very common for crew scheduling to call and say you have 3 hours from time of the call to get to either JFK or LGA. I’ve had it happen many times.”
That’s because it’s required in the contract!!!
Don’t forget it’s 3 hrs plus 45 mins till scheduled departure time

They rarely call anyone straight from RAP to fly in NY, generally the airport standbys are the first line of defense then they call the next guy off RAP to sit standby. Also, since someone asked about pay, remember that you are not going to exceed guarantee on reserve generally as a NY FO.

This happens 100% of the time if you are near the bottom of the reserve list. You have to use proffering to limit your trips across town. Who knows why CS isn't just assigning someone to standby based on seniority when doing the next day schedule, maybe it's a contract thing.
